Not sure what to say that others haven't already. I remember first getting it and being put off by the isometric view. If you are too, just wait. It will grow on you. Eventually you won't care. Finding and having your former adventuring friends join you feels awesome, even if you didn't play the previous games (I hadn't). There is good banter between them. There is a fair bit to read, and the text font can be annoying at times, but such a cool game if you like simply exploring. At one point I decided to explore systematically, and found so many random characters, monsters and hidden treasures (including the flying carpet!). The main story is also quite engrossing. I hope people don't pass over this gem simply because of game quirks. This is among the top two or three games I have ever played in about 25 years of gaming.
